I picked these up for my sister during my LA Trip in November. (Yay Japantown!) She loved them. I could tell my mom fancied them too. She tried them on and said it was like walking on clouds. (They're nice and springy.)

This image appeared in the LIFE issue of August 23, 1948, under the heading Miscellanea (page 112).

The original caption read: “Alpine High Wire – German walks from Austria on it.
Silhouetted against the Bavarian Alps, Siegwart Bach, a 19-year old German acrobat is performing the nerviest high-wire act of any century. Choosing the Zugspitze, Germany’s tallest mountain, for his record feat, Bach clutched his 60-pound balancing pole and walked 140 yards of cable from an Austrian peak to a German one on the same mountain. Although he crossed the border in four minutes, less time than many tourists require on the ground, Bach had more trouble than he expected. As he walked, the wire swayed a foot each way in the wind. This was particularly disturbing since Bach had forgotten his special shoes and was forced to walk the wire in his stocking feet.”
The image was not very clear. So, I tried to find the original…
I did a Google search and found the original in an article entitled: “Funambulism in Postwar Germany, written by: Yuliya Komska.
The caption in the article reads: “Sigwart Bach taking the terrifyingly high road between Austria and Germany over the Valley of Hell, June 1948.”
The article includes this captivating piece: “… The nerviest high-wire act of any century,” Life touted on 23 August 1948. A hundred and thirty meters of wire at an elevation of over twenty-nine hundred meters, an aerial border crossing between the Austrian summit of the Zugspitze and a cable car dispatch tower in Germany, wide international publicity, and a share of proceeds going to German children in need and to worker welfare—all this would repatriate the heights where they belonged, in the mountains. Easier said than done. For days, local climbers and technicians crawled about the slopes to fasten the cables that secured the wires, only to discover they didn’t have enough length. Eventually American and Bavarian contributions fixed the snag, but then on the morning of the stunt the wind picked up. The barefoot star, Sigwart Bach, dangled among the peaks “like a cross pendant,” Der Spiegel wrote.”
